However the most attractive of this town is the style of the houses because you can see wonderful views that there is on the streets.

A lot of people visit this town every year. On the streets you can see some painters that display their painting. Many people buy these pictures like souvenir of this town.

What would you like to be?

We usually heard it when we were child. Sometimes our parents asked us about this topic. But it is difficult to reach our goals when we are younger. Because usually we have to work to pay our studies or maybe we have to help with household expenses. However I think we do better the activities that we like more. A few years ago I worked at a hospital in my country like a receptionist. I worked there around three years in this time I learned a lot of things about the activities of a hospital. Also I learned about kinds of jobs that there is in a hospital. However I admired more the doctor´s and nurses´s job.

Because They have to do a lot of works. They have to attend a lot of people and sometimes it was a hard work because people arrived too ill. I had a lot of work too I like to attend people also. But I admired more the works of them because it was more delicate. I saw that They do not do this work by money. Someone does this work because They like this job and the profession. Then I understood that usually we felt well when we help someone and this make us to be happy. I had a good experience of life there. If you can correct this notebook Thank you.

Climb a Volcano

Hi, everybody. I want to share you a good experience of live. Last year I climbed one of the volcanoes that there is in my country. It is not far away, from where I live this volcano is called "Volcan de Acatenango". In my country there are about thirty volcanoes. I scaled it with a group of fifteen people. It was very exciting because, we all wanted stayed that night in the top of the volcano. But first we walked about thirty minutes to arrive in the forest. There were a lot of birds their singing were very beautiful. We began to climb about eight in the morning and we rested few times during the route. We reached the top at about the six in the evening. The sun was setting and we observed the entire firmament. We were happy and we wanted to look around there. The view was wonderful but we needed to look for somewhere to camp.We began to feel cold and little tired in that hour. After dinner we looked at another volcano that was near where we were, this volcano is called "volcano of fire". This volcano is active and in that time the volcano was erupting. It was amazing. We passed that night camping there.

The next day we returned. In fact It was very good experience. I would like to climb another one volcano.

Out for a walk.

Yesterday afternoon I went out for a walk with my friends. They were glad to walk. We went to the forest. This forest is near my town and there is beautiful view there. Next to the forest there is a football field where some young guys were playing football. We stood watching the boys playing. Then we decided to go down to the forest. I asked them them why don´t we walk inside the forest. We arrived at a small river and we sat down near the river. We heard the sounds of the water,the birds and sounds of the animals that live there.The sun was shining. We felt fresh air, we talked about what we saw. We stood there about thirty minutes. Then we decided to go back running, it was cold but we were laughing. We arrived at the football field near the trees. We rested and we lay down on the grass, and drank something. We were happy because this helped us to get rid of stress from work and we talked to went back again there.

Month of The Independence

Hi, everybody. This month we celebrate The Day of The Independence of my country that is 09/15/1821. During this month there are a lot of cultural activities. I live in a small town near the city and every year, one day before the main date, people go to another city. This trip is very fun. Last year I went with my brother's school. Usually schools go to attractive places in my country like beaches, aquatic parks, and tourist attractions. We went to an aquatic park outside  of the city near the sea. However the most fun was traveling back. I think it was more fun for me, because we met with another schools. People saluted us, buses honked their horns, and some children throwed us bags of water. We arrived in the evening in our town and we brought the fire symbol of independence. The next day there was a cultural parade. I like this month because there are a lot of cultural activities and I am proud of my country. If you can, correct this notebook. Thank you.
